Mystery Trip!

This year, we started a new homeschooling tradition...going on a Mystery Trip!

Mommy plans the trip with 3 destinations. At least 2 of them are places that none of us have been to before. Locations are selected so that they are not far from each other, and something about them relate to what we are currently learning (in parentheses, below).

The kids are told how to dress in the morning, but not where they are going! We have a Mystery Trip song that we sing while we drive, too.

What a lot of fun. I've only done they mystery bit once or twice and may need to do some this summer. Once my girls really wanted to go to a water park. I instead had them pack bathing suits and took them to some water falls. They were amazed. I also enjoy doing curriculum-related trips. By beginning with what they are studying and then planning the trip, we've ended up in all sorts of places we might never have discovered.
